Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: New to the IBS Diet!

Thank you.. right now Heather's diet has made me feel so much better stomach ache wise.. the gas stomach aches or attacks from the insoluble fiber were killing me. But now that I eat them with the soluble fibers I am fine. Every dr told me.. you have to just increase your fiber gradually and you wont get the stomach aches. Hello?? I am increasing it gradually and STILL getting them. Thats why I think this diet is a life saver. I just started this past week with Heather's soluble fiber in hopes I can get off the Miralax. My biggest problem now is getting over the constipation hurdle I am on. My husband swears I have a blockage somewhere in my intestines but the dr's never did a full colonoscopy on me.. they only did a sigmoidoscopy. So who knows if he is right. I occasionally go and I am fine and then other days I am constipated or it hurts to go. Either way.. it always takes me atleast a week before I go. It seems as soon as I stop taking the miralax I am back to constipation and painful BM's. It depresses me that I can't just be regular.
